NCT ID NCT04741269
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined 98 children with a symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus (DLM), a condition where the knee's cartilage is shaped abnormally. Researchers looked for a link between a child's inability to fully bend one knee and a dislocation of the meniscus seen during surgery. The goal was to see if this simple physical exam finding could help doctors identify a specific type of meniscus problem that needs surgical repair.
